Hide Featured Area on subsequent (paginated) homepage/blog pages
On your homepage or blog pages (whichever displays your postfeed), when you click the "Older Posts" button, you will be taken to another page which displays even more of your posts. By default, if you have the Featured Area set to display, it will also display on these subsequent pages.
To only have the Featured Area display on that first homepage/blog page but not the other pages, we can make a small adjustment to the code.
LAUREL

You can replace that line of code with the following code instead:
<?php if(get_theme_mod( 'laurel_featured_slider' ) == true && !is_paged()) : ?>
Additionally, to hide the Promo Boxes from displaying on subsequent homepage/blog pages, you can then look to Line 7. You'll see:
<?php if(get_theme_mod( 'laurel_promo' ) == true) : ?>
